Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Booker McQuade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felix Sandoval (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McQuade kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eyes of a Ranger. Sandoval has chosen Overseer - Slayed as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
